Blue Jeans

I wear my jeans all the time, they're comfortable, convenient and suit me. I think jeans are one of the greatest inventions. They're durable, they match everything, anyone can wear them and they come in such diverse styles.

The word jeans actually comes from French bleu de GĂȘnes, the blue of Genoa. Named after sailors in Genoa, Italy. In the 18th century it was made completely from cotton and worn by workers. In the 19th century, it caught the attention of coal miners, especially one named Leob (Levi) Strauss. From then on, the use of jeans only grew until now, when almost everybody has a pair.


She wore blue jeans and a rosary
All her friends think she's a little crazy
She wears a smile, heart on her sleeve
